The 1905 Committee stands for civic engagement and accountability. Our purpose has always been, and remains, to hold Premier Danielle Smith accountable to the true conservative values she was elected to uphold.
Many see this weekend as a “defeat” for the 1905 Committee, but in reality, the exact opposite is true.
This is what success looks like.
1. Unprecedented Engagement: Over 6,000 Albertans attended the UCP AGM, marking the largest political gathering in Canadian history. This turnout shows a groundswell of civic participation.
2. Proof of Public Pressure: In the weeks leading up to the AGM, a rapid succession of legislative proposals was put forth, demonstrating that public pressure can drive meaningful results.
3. High Expectations Set: Due to this pressure, Danielle Smith has set a high bar of expectations and must now follow through with impactful and timely actions. The bar has never been higher.
4. Unwavering Conservative Support: With 91.5% support for the Premier, any cabinet minister or staff member who hinders the conservative mandate does so at their own peril. The mandate for conservative values is now indisputable.
5. A Moment for Bold Action: There has never been a better time for the Premier to act boldly and fulfill the promises made in her powerful speech.

“Europe has become increasingly hostile toward free expression whenever speech challenges official narratives. Whether the subject is immigration, climate policy, COVID, Ukraine, or government spending, the response is remarkably consistent.
Debate is no longer answered with better arguments.
It is answered with censorship, de-platforming, algorithmic suppression, and criminal investigations.
This is exactly what history warns happens during periods of declining confidence in government.
As public trust collapses, politicians become less tolerant of criticism.
Instead of asking why people no longer believe them, they conclude the public is consuming the wrong information.
Their solution is always to regulate speech, monitor communications, and now even redesign the algorithms that determine what people watch.

EXCLUSIVE: Corus shutting down news production in Calgary, Edmonton, transferring to Toronto
Corus, the parent company of Global TV, is preparing to shut down news production in Calgary and Edmonton and transfer the work to Toronto, the Western Standard has learned.
Western Standard souces say Corus is expected to make the announcement on Thursday.
"There will be a lot of layoffs," said the source.
One source said the last day of August is when the transfer is set to be completed.
"From that point on, both Calgary and Edmonton newscasts will be produced remotely from Toronto.
Corus has faced severe, ongoing challenges in the broadcasting industry.
The company is facing declining revenues from advertising and higher debt costs.
